The molecule in three dimensions

Rotate and inspect the atoms. Loaded only when you ask, so the page stays light.

The drawing above is a diagram of what is bonded to what. A molecule is not flat, and the model here is one low-energy shape generated from the connectivity — useful for seeing which groups can reach each other, and not a measured structure. A real sample is a population of conformations, interconverting.

Other names for it

The systematic name on this record is oxidane.

The sources also call it Distilled water, Dihydrogen oxide, Purified water, Sterile water, Water vapor, Water, deionized, oxidane, aqua, Water, mineral, Water, purified, Dihydrogen Monoxide.

What this page does not claim

Identifiers are copied from the source record, measured values are reported as published, and calculated values are marked as calculated. Nothing here is a hazard, purity or handling assessment — how the library is checked.
